Conforto (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was expected to wait until the weekend to join Syracuse, but he'll resume game action a few days earlier than expected after his strained right hamstring apparently responded well to his recent workouts. He'll lead off Wednesday for a Syracuse lineup that also includes two more rehabbing Mets in Albert Almora (shoulder) and Jeff McNeil (hamstring). Both of those players are likely to beat Conforto back from the IL, as the Mets want the 28-year-old to spend about a week in the minors to get fully ramped up since the hamstring injury has sidelined him for the past month. If all goes well, Conforto should rejoin the Mets midway through their upcoming eight-game homestand next week.

Conforto (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment by the end of the week, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has been out with a hamstring strain since mid-May. He's been tracking towards a return in late June for some time now and appears to be still on that schedule, as he'll likely need a fair number of rehab games given the length of his absence.

Conforto (hamstring) ran the bases prior to Saturday's game against San Diego, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto has been out for nearly a month with a right hamstring strain. He remains on track to return in late June and is expected to do so over the final weekend of the month.

Conforto (hamstring) hopes to begin running the bases when the Mets return home to face the Padres this weekend, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has been on the shelf since May 17 with a strained right hamstring, but a rehab assignment could be on the horizon if he's able to run the bases with no issues this weekend. Billy McKinney should continue to see regular time in right field until Conforto rejoins the active roster, which he's unlikely to do until late June.

Conforto's hamstring strain is a significant one and is expected to keep him out until late June, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets' injury crisis won't be letting up any time soon, as both Conforto and Jeff McNeil were ruled out for roughly another month Monday. Khalil Lee has handled the majority of the starts in right field in Conforto's absence thus far.

Conforto (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto's placement on the injured list was expected after he sustained a right hamstring strain in Sunday's loss to the Rays. The 28-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday, but the results aren't yet known. Johneshwy Fargas' contract was selected and Khalil Lee was recalled as part of a shuffle.

The Mets are expected to place Conforto (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's series opener in Atlanta, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
New York has yet to reveal the results of the MRI that Conforto underwent after exiting Sunday's game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness, but the club apparently believes he's dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. Conforto looks poised to become the third Mets everyday player to move to the IL, joining Brandon Nimmo (finger) and J.D. Davis (hand). Reserve outfielder Albert Almora (shoulder) is also on the IL, so the Mets could need to call up an outfielder from Triple-A Syracuse to play everyday alongside Dominic Smith in left field and Kevin Pillar in center.

Conforto (hamstring) will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conforto was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness after he pulled up while running out a groundout in the first inning. He should be considered day-to-day until the results of his MRI are known.

Conforto was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old pulled up running to first base on his first inning groundout and was immediately replaced in the field. It was a brutal start to the day for the Mets, as Jeff McNeil (hamstring) also made an early exit. Conforto should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Conforto went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After lashing a two-run double and then coming around to score as part of a four-run first inning by the Mets, Conforto saved the best for last by launching a solo shot of Hector Neris in the top of the ninth to break a 4-4 tie. The outfielder seems to have found his rhythm at the plate, hitting .310 (9-for-29) over the last eight games with both his homers on the year as he shakes off a tepid start to 2021.
